Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Central American Tree Snake sighting in Santa Rosa National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 24th most-seen of the 37 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Central American Tree Snake in Santa Rosa National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, June and August–November, the lowest months. That is one of Santa Rosa National Park's driest months, with about 5 mm of rain against 450 mm in October.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Central American Tree Snake sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Santa Rosa National Park, in our data
Santa Rosa National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Central American Tree Snake sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Central American Tree Snake is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Santa Rosa National Park (8 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
